Fire ants are known for their painful bites, which can cause itching, burning, and even blisters. When you have a fire ant infestation on your lawn, it's important to be very careful when using it or letting your pets play outside. Watch where you step to avoid disturbing their mounds, as fire ants tend to be aggressive and attack when their colony is threatened. Additionally, be mindful of your pets, as they can also be targeted by fire ants. Limit your time spent on the infested lawn and avoid activities that may disturb the ants, such as mowing or playing sports. By being cautious and vigilant, you can minimize the risk of being bitten by fire ants.

2. Hire Professionals to Eradicate Fire Ants

Attempting to eradicate them on your own can be challenging and may not yield effective results, not to mention can pose a risk to your safety if you don't know how to do it properly. That's why it's crucial to hire professionals to deal with them.
